Re: [pygame] IronPython and SDL example

[David_Hudson@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

You may want to check out SDL.NET (http://cs-sdl.sourceforge.net) for an
Object-Oriented version of the Tao.Sdl API. SDL.NET is built on Tao.Sdl and
makes working with Surfaces, Sounds and other apects of SDL much easier.
Pygame heavily influenced the SDL.NET design so you should see some
similarites between the two. Note that since I wrote and currently maintain
both Tao.Sdl and SDL.NET you can pass any bugs, patch etc to me. I am happy
to see Tao.Sdl working with IronPython.

Thanks
Dave
